“Many of our attempts to understand Christian faith have only cheapened it. I can no more understand the totality of God than the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me.

People will do what they will do. The trick is admitting your own helplessness about that little fact.”

I am not sure that I'm capable of shouldering it all myself - not sure that I am strong enough, or good enough.”
